You've used a few petrol chainsaws and are comparing them to the DeWalt electric Chainsaw or you've tried a few electric Chainsaws and find the DeWalt the best? Ive not heard much good things about the DeWalt to be honest which is a shame as thats the Cordless tools I use. My brother has the 36v Makita and he loves it, really powerful and great for city use.

Well I was thinking more of a months supply. Thats £8 for me maximum. But I get your point, if you're can make a weeks worth in 1 minute with free materials then why not. But I guess most folk need to buy something.

Homebargains Firelighters are 50p a pack and burn wel A pack lasts me a week. Making your own is nice quaint hobby but factor in your time and is it worth it? Thats a minimum of £30. I can buy a lot of Firelighters for thirty quid. Kindlings another matter though. At £2.00 for a small bundle I can knock out £2.00's worth in under 2 minutes and have it cut to the length I like and not that dumpy crap you get at Homebargains which is about 6" long and 2" diameter. I find that 140 year old Pine flooring makes lovely Kindling.

I bought a Bandsaw Mill and an Alaskan set-up and was disowned. [emoji6]

I have a lot of time on my hands. The Pearls of Wisdom he dispenses there are so hilarious I couldn't help but keep reading.

I thought that as well, just an epic troll. But read his posts on the Window Cleaning Forum, he blethers the same nonsense there as well. I genuinely think he believes it.

Was it the same businessmen that convinced you to part with £5000 for a course in stocks and shares? No wonder they all want to be your friend.....

If the timber is out of the elements I’m not sure you’d need to treat other softwoods anyway? Cladding would obviously be different. You’re gonna love me for slapping a mix of burst oil and AFT around the bases of my fence posts then. 🤣

Why this Labour War Criminal is not in jail I’ll never know!

You don’t say! 🤣

I could maybe get you a load but it would be coming from the North East of Scotland.!🤣

I think you’ll struggle to get loads under 10t with 20t being the norm. I could be wrong but larch seems a bit scarce these days but I’ve seen £80 a ton and more being banded about. Any particular reason that 2x8 and 2x6 needs to be larch? Could Spruce or DF work just as well?

Cheers Mike! I’m starting to see parts can be an issue. If it lasts long enough for this big oak it will have earned its keep. Crazy to think that an oil pump is not available for it.

I just finished the latest series from Peter F Hamilton The Salvation Series. Bit of a slow burner in the first book but soon picks up pace. Can post on to anyone who'd like to have them?
-
I really like it. Its the prequal to the Pillars of the Earth series.

I dont feel smug at all. You did mention Oslo and that is where the most restrictions are in place and as I mentioned, all kommuners are allowed to have their own level of response and the cities with vastly lower levels of restrictions that the UK are not seeing spikes in the Virus. Thats all im saying.
-
I have a lot of books with me. Reading the latest Ken Follett just now actually. But mostly its Sci-fi.
-
I think that calling everywhere outside of Oslo an oil field bubble is somewhat narrow minded. I appreciate why Oslo feels the need for tougher restrictions. But I also appreciate that outside of the Capital the kommuners are allowed to take a more relaxed approach if the levels of infection allow them to. But strangely when drastically lower levels of restrictions are in place (outside of Oslo) the infection rates do not sky rocket.
-
Im back in a Hotel again twiddling my thumbs. Yeh, Im gonna disagree with it. Need something to pass the time.
-
So the first dose reduces the severity of the infection but only after two weeks?
-
See? Not very clear but thankfully you've since addressed that. You've since clarified that you only wear masks in restaurants at some ski-centers while walking about but this is not the case for all and the slopes on the West Coast dont seem to be implementing that and the shops you're referring to are in the Capital and do not represent Norway as a whole but are Oslo-centric? Just so we're clear.
-
Its not difficult to understand, but its also not what you wrote the other day. I was just clarifying that.
